摘要
In this study, high-Tc YBaCuO superconductors with high Jc value were prepared using MTG(melting-textured growth) method. These superconductors with high density have Jc value in excess of 1.6×104 A/cm2 (77K, zero field) determined by using a d.c. standard four terminal method with the criterion of lμV/cm. The XRD and fractograph analysis revealed that the texture existed in whole MTG-processed YBaCuO sample which consists of the layered and plate-like grains of matrix phase YBa2Cu3Oy unidirectionally aligned along its (103) planes. The experimental results indicated that the connectivity between superconducting grains has been improved greatly and the weak-link problem has been overcome essentially.
